Whelp...I signed in at 12:00 on the dot, got kicked off 5 times and am still waiting to get in.
Anyone else have this problem?
And my computer is not to blame - i'm at a high speed work computer.

We were stopped right after entering the gate on Sunday. We are from Oregon, where you don't need tags/plates on a small trailor, but the cop said that since we are in Nevada (and had gone through California) we were not in compliance of the law. He was actually REALLY NICE and was obviously just ch...

Hey, I'm in one of those pics! Thant's awesome!!!

Our MV was a golf cart with coil suspension turned into a Fokker Triplane. DMV was extremely pleasant with us...it's much harder to get a night license but they let us have one if we promised to add more lighting next time. Hey ZaphodBurner - not sure you are the right person but my group came by o...

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HOLY SHIT. You're right. I'll give you that. The pic is indeed a fake.. and has gone viral. Looks to have been 'shopped possibly by an artist in SoCal. On layover in Cincinatti on the way to Reno and bored with the man on my miiiiiiind.. I know, once you see it, it's just about the...

..so it seems from this shot this morning. Legs straight across from each other like usual. Now.. the only question.. is what colors will he be at night? *drool* https://sphotos-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-snc7/424746_677404389423_1461376540_n.jpg HAHA. We totally called him "Sassy Man" last year! I''m ...

Oh come on!! The "people" at the bottom of the structure hanging out??? I've seem that in about a million "artist renditions" of images showing what a building will look like when it's finished. You fooled a few people though so that's good ehe? Haha, I love how they're all dressed so business casua...

Wow, this is fake. Look at those cool, city folk chillin at the bottom.

Without boring you the build details, here it is.. the final.

SEE YOU IN THE DUST!

I WILL find you on the playa!!!! This is increadible. It gave me goosbumps. Woohoo!!

I thought my productivity at work would increase due to the declining number of posts, but now I find it hard to concentrate since the burn is so close. I'm spending all my time thinking through my plans over and over. Same here. I am really useless here. Unfortunately, I've told everyone at work a...

now show us your tits, bubbles.

Ok, while you are among the snarkies of the whole lot....that made me laugh out loud this Monday morning and, for that, I thank you!

Looks to me like your ignorance is showing more than usual..... inthecolumbiagorge, I just wanted to say that you are awesome!!! I really think we see eye to eye on this and I’m glad you brought it up. I feel that there are a lot of folks that read the e-playa threads and really want to participate...

I completely disagree with this statement. Telling the truth for 16 straight pages is letting the newbies know this isn't always a picnic, and that they need to have their shit prepared. The ones who heed it & set up their camps better than they would have otherwise will definitely think it's posit...

ARE YOU SURE? :twisted: Heeeeyyy. Is snack Food Glory Hole your camp? If so, I would really like to virtually shake your hang. Everyone in my camp really really loved this. Great photo ops as well. It's hillarious how eagar everyone wanted to do this - almost too much really if you think about it. ...

Thanks for this!

[quote="stretch80Here is the deal. There have been serious dust storms every night. Therefore, one needs to anticipate strong winds and plan appropriately. There are several ongoing discussion about tent pegs, shade structures and such. Google: eplaya tent pegs ...Make sure you have goggles and some...

Wow, this really is useless. I know all of the veterans on here are just having an amazing time scaring the newbies but, even though this is not my first year going, even im a little nervous. Actually, this thread made me much more nervous. Some of us are really trying to get a better idea as to wha...

I'm so sorry if this has been answered but I can't seem to find it if it has. We are driving from the north and will probably be stopping in Alturas. Do any of you know if there are any grocery stores there that sell dry ice?? Yes, I found another thread that had everything I needed to know. THANKS ...

Wow, you people are freakin awesome....and so helpful really. Thanks!

Something I like about the questionnaire is that even if a person doesn't send it back, they might get a laugh and/or quiz the person next to them in the vehicle, and have some amusing conversations.

Yes, that's exactly what i was thinking!

And Dusty Bubbles, you're doing real well at understanding intent. We often wrap up our advise in snark, and you're hearing both, but not letting the snark drive you away from the pointers. Not entry level internet board participation. Thank you HAHA - yes, I've been a silent observer for a very lo...

Would it be worth talking to someone from exodus to see how to safely (or as safely as possible) do this? Or does the pulsing really take care of that... All I remember is we were waiting for 6 hours with lots and lots and lots of time completely at a stop. I was just thinking I could hand them out...

Hey, some people can't help that they have to leave at a shitty time. Sometimes it's either that or not going at all.
Although rather good questions, I don't think that's the greatest time to get snarky on people....

DustyBubbles, you'll want to make sure your survey has a mailing address (if safe) or is short enough that you stand a good chance of getting it back. And make sure you don't hold up traffic. Sometimes the line moves suddenly. Though not usually. :) I definitely see your point. I was thinking that ...

Oh My Gosh I Love You Guys!! These are great Lonesomebri!!!

Hi all, I want a way to make Exodus more fun this year as last year was an 8 hour nightmare that I was not really prepared for. Let's say it was certainly not a great cap to the otherwise amazing burn. I was thinking of ways for my shy self to interact with fellow burners in line and brighten everyo...

My adaptation is (if I can't find a virgin willing to let me try and follow them around) to flee outward. I head to the streets with the higher letters later in the week. I had the best time meeting some people from Fallon, NV a couple years ago. And then there's the guy with too much steak at the ...

"Huh... It's the women in our camp that bring the stripper pole. They get dudes from the street to put on a show for a drink."

And THAT'S exactly the kind of genuine expression that I'm talking about. How awesome - shaking up the "gender codes" and all. You know what I'm talking about though.

The dudes that go to burning man just to see naked chicks and don't leave their fratty mentalities at home. There's a bit more sexism out there than I wish there was. I'm just a tad tired of the motorboating brigades or the stripper poles that are manditory in every camp. Don't get me wrong, everyon...
